DAVAO CITY – The barangay police in the first district received motorcycle equipment from First Congressional District Representative Paolo Duterte through his son Rodrigo “Rigo” Duterte II along Ponciano Street on Saturday, November 25.

Rigo turned over the Kawasaki CT 100 equipment – a police siren with PA system and mic, front blinker, beacon light, front crash guard stainless, and pole stand stainless – to barangay captains to be used by the barangay police. 

Like the police officers, the barangay police were encouraged to use motorcycles for reinforcement duties – helping the authorities patrol their area of responsibility (AOR), chasing offenders, and providing general security.

Rigo, who thanked the barangay police for doing their job, said acquiring the new motorcycle equipment would strengthen their competence to prevent and respond to street crimes in their respective AOR.
